APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Vine Electric Inc., in an amount not to exceed $500,000 for general electrical, main switchgear and infrared testing,and maintenance, for the period from April 1, 2019 through January 31, 2022, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services maintenance budget. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Facilities Services has been tasked with several requests for electrical upgrades to County facilities. With an improved County budget and Facility Life Improvement Plan, the work orders have begun to amass. The amount of work has surpassed Facilities’ ability to conduct work in a timely manner with the current staff. Bidsync # 1809-301 solicited several electrical contractors interested in performing sublet work for Facilities Services. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County facilities. Vine Electric, Inc. was selected for general electrical, main switchgear and infrared testing, repairs and maintenance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, general electrical, main switchgear and infrared testing, repairs and maintenance services will be delayed and/or discontinued.
